“It’s too late,” “I’m too old,” “There are so many young entrepreneurs, I could never compete with them.” Have you ever thought something similar? I recently had a conversation about an article I read that shared the ideal age to start a business. Ya’ll, I was BLOWN AWAY by their data! Let me share with […]

Every life-changing adventure, decision, or opportunity I’ve had started off with a side hustle. But if we’re going to be real, side hustles have a stigma. When you have one, for some reason people feel like they can have an opinion about it. For example, when I first picked up my camera, people were like, […]

Before I began UCLA Law School about a decade ago, I read a book called One L by Scott Turow. In his journal, Turow listed all the reasons why you shouldn’t go to law school, and as I read it I agreed with everything he said. Honestly, it made me question my decision to become […]

My hair and makeup were done with extra care, and I’m wearing my favorite green dress that JD says is his favorite. #thanksbae Everything is perfect, the cameras are rolling… I’m ready to go live with Gary Vaynerchuk. You see, […]
